Loxone Config: get to know your home before it exists
Loxone Config is a free PC program where you can build your home's project - rooms, functions, visualization - and test it in simulation before spending a cent.
How the Config program works
Download and open
Loxone Config is a free PC program for configuring the system - download it and open it, no hardware required.
Project structure
Organize your home visually by rooms and functions - programming happens with function blocks, not code.
Simulation mode
Test scenes and logic with virtual switches in simulation mode, before any hardware is installed.
Prep for the conversation
With a finished project, talking to a Loxone Partner installer gets concrete - a more accurate quote, fewer surprises.
What to know about the Loxone system
Config is free
You can download and try the program at no cost - only real hardware costs money, if you decide to buy it.
Miniserver
The central controller for the DIN rail - all automation logic runs locally, without depending on the cloud for basic functions.
Loxone Tree
The proprietary bus - a single 4-wire cable delivers both power and data to devices in a tree topology, not a star like KNX.
Loxone Air
A wireless product line for battery sensors and switches - convenient to install during a renovation, no extra cabling.
Loxone Link
The internal bus that connects extension modules to the Miniserver.
Loxone vs KNX
Loxone is a closed, manufacturer-centered platform with its own bus; KNX is an open international standard with devices from many manufacturers.
What you walk away with after planning in Config
Before your first conversation with an installer, you can build a clear picture of your project.
- A list of rooms and functions
- A visual project structure
- Scene logic tested in the simulator
- A clearer picture for the Partner conversation
- A basis for a more accurate quote
